My Laptop won't boot from my cd
Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 2:06 pm
Hi, I have the problem that my portable pc doesn't load from the cd, I already checked my BIOS about 5 times and it is correct, it is CD first, Floppy second and HDD third. but it still boots from the HDD even though your cd is in the CD Drive.
I tried using a boot disk (Floppy) for DOS and it worked, and used another boot disk which creates a virtual cd rom and it read the content on the cd, but I can't get it to run.
Please any help would be appreciated because I can't log onto my windows account. It gets to the welcome screen, but when trying to log in, the wallpaper appears for a split second and it logs off. I tried using safe mode and vga mode but even the administrator account has that problem.
If there is any way to integrate just the F-prot anti virus or the avast for dos into a boot diskette, please tell me how, as all I want is to scan my laptop
thank you very much for your help
